    I bought this TV exclusively for my office to be used as a computer monitor, Xbox Series X (4K 120Hz) and PS5 (4K 120Hz). Works well, 4K HDR is bright, no complaints there, for a computer monitor it also works well, just have to set the brightness a bit lower for my eyes. TV is affordable for those seeking a 4K 120hz for some gaming in an office or small setting.

    The last TV my wife and I bought was a plasma Panasonic Viera. Needless to say, that was several years ago. Our TV cabinet would not allow for a 50-inch TV. While we researched online, the visit to the store is what sold us on this TV. It has great picture quality from every angle. Sound is good, but much better after I connected our sound bar.

  • Awful 4K120Hz Image! It's Unusable as PC Monitor!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this TV specifically to use it has a PC monitor at 4K120Hz given that it is advertised to handle a 4K120Hz image. However, in reality, 4K120Hz is extremely blurry. It's unusable and it's especially noticeable when the TV is used as a PC monitor. From what I have gathered online, it's actually only displaying 3840 x 1080 in 4K resolution. This is half the resolution of true 4K (3840 x 2160). It's therefore downscaling your input devices resolution setting. Text looks absolutely awful. It creates a double image effect and the appearance of blurriness that not only looks awful, but causes eye strain as your eyes seek to do their best to focus an un-focusable image. The issue appears to be restricted to 4k120Hz as when I switch to 4K60hz, the display renders true 4K. That said, I am paying a price premium for a 4k120Hz display. If I wanted to run the display at 4K60Hz, there are cheaper options. The 2021 Vizio MQ6 has a 4K60Hz display with a wide color gamut and a decent response time in gaming mode. It's not as bright, but half the price. Sadly I may return this TV and buy the Vizio MQ6 instead. Google TV and the promise of VRR by the end of the year are not enough to make me keep this TV unless they actually figure out how to get the X1 processor to render 4K120Hz properly. By contrast, I bought a 43 inch X800H for my daughter last year who was in her Senior year of Game Art and Design study. The X800H, with it's relative color accurate IPS panel makes for a brilliant computer monitor. The X85J has a VA panel unfortunately. So does the aforementioned Vizio. Sadly, I can live with a VA Panel as long as it worked as adverstised. Buyer Beware. Know that it's not truly a 4K120Hz TV before you make the same mistake that I did!

      Hi BamboozledBuyer,

      We're sorry to hear about the issue with the TV. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have on our products. We apologize for the inconvenience. The X85J supports the features specified in HDMI 2.1 standard like 4K120, eARC/ARC, ALLM, and VRR(VRR will be available via a future firmware update). You will need to set the TV HDMI® signal format to Enhanced format for your source device to recognize the 4K 120Hz capability of the TV. Make sure your device is connected to the HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 input on the TV using the supplied Certified Premium HDMI cable.

      1. Select Settings → Watching TV → External inputs → HDMI signal format.
      2. Select the input the device is connected to (either HDMI 3 or HDMI 4), and then change the setting to Enhanced format.

      The video quality displayed on the TV will be determined by the method used to connect the computer. A high quality, high-speed HDMI cable is recommended for best performance. The picture may be blurry and may not be displayed correctly depending on your connection status. In this case, change the computer’s settings and select a different input signal in “Supported computer input signals”

      With an even clearer 4K signal, everything you watch is closer to 4K(4K: 3,840 x 2,160 pixels) resolution, full of lifelike color and contrast. Please check the functions that supported on each of the HDMI terminals: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/kd-43x85j/articles/00194995
